Leicester City are ready to offer Youri Tielemans a new bumper contract after Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan expressed interest in the Belgium international, according to 90Min.
The Foxes’ £40 million record signing might not be dominating Premier League games on a weekly basis just yet – but he’s getting there.
Tielemans was far from his best during Sunday’s trip to Arsenal but, with just ten minutes left on the clock and the score 0-0, he offered the most timely reminder of his match-winning capabilities.
A sensational through ball carved Mikel Arteta’s team apart like a Thanksgiving turkey and, just seconds later, Jamie Vardy was stooping to head the winner.
It’s that kind of defence-splitting through ball that has earned Tielemans admirers at some of Europe’s biggest and best clubs.
90Min claims Juventus, Inter Milan and 2020 Champions League finalists PSG have all expressed an interest.
Not that Tielemans is destined to go down the Riyad Mahrez route and try to force a move away from the King Power Stadium.
90Min reports the former Monaco starlet is more than happy at Leicester, confident as he is that Brendan Rodgers’ side are capable of pushing on after qualifying for Europe for only the second time in their history last term.
It seems only a matter of time, then, before Tielemans puts pen to paper on a lucrative new contract.
90Min suggests the 23-year-old could join James Maddison in the £100,000-a-week bracket. Tielemans currently earns £33,000 a week, meaning he may be in line to triple his wages in the near future (Spotrac).
